[texasems- l] dimming lights before checking pupils

[Guest guest]

I have a job basically doing physical exam

On people all day , every day. I, out of habit, and because I can, dim the

lights before checking their pupils . I was told by our physician that "

it's not clinically appropriate to dim the lights before checking pupils " no

further explanation. No specific reason given. (even after asking for the

rationale) Just that isolated statement.

Anyone else here thing that is strange or bizarre or weird or is it just me???
